I Have No Enemies 我沒有敵人
This unofficial steel sculpture commemorates the Chinese human rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, who was imprisoned by the Chinese Communist government and eventually died. The sculpture was permanently installed on the rock of a remote non-disclosed location in Hong Kong overlooking the South China Sea. It took the form of an empty chair from the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony which Mr. Liu couldn’t attend. On a sunny day, the sunlight will cast Liu Xiaobo's name, birthday, & date of death onto the rocks underneath, as well as his famous quotation: “I Have No Enemies”. The steel chair-shaped sculpture continues to eroded by sun, rain, and sea water causing it to rust, suggesting transformation and death through the passing of time. A powerful solitary piece commemorating the loss of a great man and reminding all of us not to fall into hatred when fighting for freedom and democracy.
這藝術作品是紀念中國人權運動家、諾貝爾和平獎得主、劉曉波先生的非正式紀念碑,他被中共政府違憲拘禁多年最終死亡。 這件雕塑永久裝置在香港面向南中國海一個秘密海岸的岩石上。 它外表依照劉曉波先生不能參與的2010年諾貝爾和平獎頒獎禮上的空櫈模樣, 當有日照的時候,太陽光會把劉曉波的名字、生日、死日、及他的名句「我沒有敵人」投影到岩石上,鋼鐵造的雕塑不斷被太陽、風雨、海水侵蝕生鏽,象徵著時間的轉化及死亡。 寂寞而有力地悼念一個被消失的偉人,並且提醒我們在爭取民主與自由的同時,不要自己掉進仇恨的深淵。
